The Rigveda is a monumental text in both world religion and world
literature, yet outside a small band of specialists it is little
known. Composed in the latter half of the second millennium BCE, it
stands as the foundational text of what would later be called
Hinduism. The text consists of over a thousand hymns dedicated to
various divinities, composed in sophisticated and often enigmatic
verse. This concise guide from two of the Rigveda's leading
English-language scholars introduces the text and breaks down its
large range of topics-from meditations on cosmic enigmas to
penetrating reflections on the ability of mortals to make contact
with and affect the divine and cosmic realms through sacrifice and
praise-for a wider audience.
